Liu Dan said depressedly: "Brother Peng, when you say this, I just calmed down and my heart is unbalanced again, why can't we spend money to travel." ”

Lei Jiang laughed and said: "In the future, in order to make money, the empire may not be open to sightseeing. ”

The group of five would chat every time they finished discussing something, and often talked about the outside world, and the isolation of the city from the outside world has actually become a habit for thousands of years.

Although for thousands of years, there are tens of millions of people in the city from no man's land, there are still many areas that have not been developed, especially in a large long area in the middle of the city, there is still a large wild forest, few people visit, it is said that there are all kinds of rare and exotic beasts in it, it is named the paulownia wild area, and other places outside the wild area, gradually divided into three large areas and three communities, Shuikou Village is located in the Dongquan District in the lower right corner of the entire colonized city, although the area is not very large, but in the middle of the Dongquan District, by the mountains and rivers, under the careful management of the elders of the previous five-person group, Shuikou Village continues to develop, in the eyes of many people, has become the place of outstanding people.

Now with the turmoil of the Moyuan Empire, the city also gives people a sense of uneasiness, all kinds of large and small bandit forces are developing rapidly, and Shuikou Village is also shrouded in an invisible murderous aura.

For the group of five, Shuikou Village, which seemed to be a peaceful and peaceful village, gave them an unprecedented sense of pressure and crisis at the moment.

At the end of the meeting, Lin Yuan was on duty for the night patrol, Wan Zhiwen went to design the chariot, Chen Yunpeng was on night duty in the ancestral hall, Lei Jiang and Liu Dan walked on the streets of Shuikou Village at night, and a few guards followed not far behind.

Lei Jiang put his hands behind his back, glanced at Liu Dan as he walked, and said, "Xiao Dan, how is your little Kewei now?

Liu Dan's husband Luo Zhengming three years ago, the team that went out to do business with Shuikou Quncun was attacked on the way, and in order to protect several villagers, he was hacked to death by bandits, and the death was very miserable, and the bandits were later killed by Lin Yuan.

Liu Dan's son Luo Kewei was not yet five years old at the time, crying every day to ask for his father, although Liu Dan made a calm appearance in front of people, he washed his face with tears every day at home, and he did not gradually recover until a year ago, and Luo Kewei stopped crying and asked for his father half a year ago.

Liu Dan sighed and said, "Kewei looks quiet on the surface now, but he should still be thinking about his father in his heart. In the troubled times of Colony City, when will it be like a normal world. ”

Lei Jiang sighed and shook his head and said, "Yes." We must try our best to keep the peace of Shuikou Village, we have no control over the outside world, we can only pray to heaven. ”

Liu Dan said: "Old Lei, I hope that because of the turbulent situation in the Moyuan Empire, there will be some kind of stability or balance in the Colony City. ”

Soon, the two walked to Liu Dan's house, and after saying goodbye, when Liu Dan closed the courtyard door, the two guards stood guard at the door, and Lei Jiang walked to his house with a few guards.

On his way home, he will pass by the school of educating children and teenagers in Shuikou Village, which consists of 20 independent classrooms, arranged along the shore of the lake in an arc facing Songhu Lake, which is an inland lake located in the northeast of Shuikou Village, roughly circular, with a diameter of about 100 meters, and it is said that the lake and the Snow Dragon Pond in the southeast of Shuikou Village are connected underground, so the water quality is excellent.

In addition to the village school surrounding Songhu, many houses are built by the lake, and Lei Jiang's home is also by the lake.

Lei Jiang walked through the village school, and suddenly saw a classroom still lit with crystal lights, and he was not curious, so he turned back to the guards and said, "Let's go, go and see." ”

Lei Jiang crossed a crooked gravel road, came to the door of the classroom with the lights on, looked inside, there were actually two teenagers sitting quietly in the classroom reading, Lei Jiang also saw the two of them studying in the school one night not long ago, and had a brief conversation with them at that time, these two boys are called Yin Yuanqin, one is called Cai Dajun, they are of the same age, they are about ten years old, the two families live very close, and their parents are also very familiar with each other, and they prefer to be quiet, so they often go to the school to read together.

The two teenagers looked engrossed in the books in their hands, not noticing how many people were standing outside the classroom.

Lei Jiang smiled and nodded, and left the village school lightly with the guards.

Lei Jiang said to one of the guards on the right back: "Xiaotang, remind me tomorrow, I want Liu Dan to pay more attention to these two children." Shuikou Village needs this kind of person who loves to read. ”

Xiao Tang smiled and said, "Elder Lei, you mentioned these two children to Elder Liu last time, she should already be paying attention. ”

The members of the village protection group follow the tradition of making the members of the five-member group elders.

Lei Jiang opened his mouth slightly in surprise, and immediately stabilized and said calmly: "Yes, I remember." There were so many things that I forgot about it all at once. ”

Lei Jiang frowned slightly as he walked, he found that his memory was getting worse and worse, although he said that he remembered it, but in fact he had no impression at all, he secretly said to himself that he must record the important events of the day in his diary before going to bed every day.

Lei Jiang has entered the Shuikou Village Five-member Group for 20 years, has always been known for his calmness, in the face of the crisis, as long as he is there, everyone will feel a kind of stability and peace of mind, now he feels an unprecedented crisis, the current situation is unpredictable, his memory has actually begun to decline, the next few years must be related to the Shuikou Village comfort critical moment, if it continues to decline like this, the impact on the five-person group is immeasurable.

Soon he had already walked to the door of the house, and the two guards outside the gate saw him coming back and hurriedly told the housekeeper to open the door.

Lei Jiang turned to Xiao Tang and the other guards and said, "Go back and rest, it's hard work today." ”

The housekeeper Lao Gu bent his back slightly to open the door, and as soon as Lei Jiang entered the door, he saw Lei Xuemei smiling and a steady and upright young man walking from the house to the courtyard to greet him.

Lei Jiang was stunned for a moment and said, "Xuezhi, when did you come back?"

The young man opened his mouth and said, "Dad, didn't you know that I was back in the afternoon?"

Lei Jiang's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Oops, I forgot to be busy." Walk. Go in and tell me about what you saw when you went out this time. ”

Lei Xuemei smiled and came up and grabbed Lei Jiang's shoulders and walked into the house together.

Lei Xuezhi is four years older than his sister Lei Xuemei, and since he became an adult, he has been following the caravan in the village as a member of the escort team, and has experienced several bandit invasions, but because the bandit force has been suppressed by the laws of the empire, he does not have much advantage in front of the caravan escort, so every time there is no danger. When Liu Dan's husband was attacked, Lei Xuezhi was not present.
